KOA Predicts 25M-Plus Campers for Labor Day
In its monthly report, Kampgrounds of America said it expects just more than 25 million households plan to camp over the Labor Day holiday. The weekend is set to kick off a healthy fall camping season with campers sharing an interest in increasing their camping trips.
Fifty-eight percent of respondents to its poll said they plan to camp over the Labor Day holiday. While 30% said their camping plans are for the long weekend, 42% said they would stay out longer.
“Labor Day is looking to outpace Memorial Day, which is often seen as the most popular camping holiday,” said Whitney Scott, chief marketing officer of Kampgrounds of America. “Between brightening economic conditions and the continued growth of late summer and fall camping, it’s apparent that camping isn’t just confined to a season.”
